Programming your own beats is also possible, 4 of which can be stored in the CR-78's memory. Unfortunately there is no quantization, and only 4 instruments can be used in a pattern. There is an ability to kill single instruments from the rhytym with 4 buttons.

On the back panel there are two outputs with different impedance plus trigger in/out jacks. Two pedalinputs are also available; the first allows the pedal to be used as the start/stop button, while the second is for programming.
